ISBN 81-8290-016-6 Folk Music of Himalayas is a comprehensive book on the music of the HImalayas. Music transcends all barriers and will not be difficult for any one to appreciate the most unfamiliar sounds ad tones from a more unfamiliar world. At one side of the mighty Himalayas, the Kashmiri women ignoring the sound of guns across the border still sing in the fields, on the other side the Tibetans preserve their age old faith and tradition ignoring threat and obsession. Still for both the Himalayas spread tranquility and both inherit the mountains and its music. The book is a document of hopes, aspirations, misery and economic plight of the Himalayan people. Folk music of the Himalayas impress the mind. Just as a white sheet can be tinged with many shades exactly in the same manner the music of rustics tinge hues to the melancholic mind of men and women and this book is indeed a record of that dying music. Modern music is more noise and it is indeed an uphill task to record the melodies of the simple people. Still there is no need to preserve the muisc accompanied by the eco-freindly folk instruments against the sound of Jazz and band. The author believes that all men and women of the mighty Himalayas must be created to keep the music alive and eternal.
